Regulating humidity in an industrial facility, whether it be a manufacturing plant or storage warehouse is imperative to ensure protection of equipment and products. Metal corrosion, mildew or mold growth can permanently damage components and result in the need for expensive repairs to equipment or affect the saleability of products.
Controlling humdity can be a tremendous challenge, especially when a building’s insulation is not adequate or large doors are present. Industrial Dehumidifier are utilized for these applications due to their capacity and ability to maintain precise control without using excessive energy, even in high-load situations. Industrial dehumidifiers typically use a desiccant wheel which absorbs the moisture. The wheel’s media is re-generated via a heat source such as a natural gas burner or electric heating coil.
Manufacturers of industrial dehumidifiers usually offer multiple configurations and options to meet the specific requirements of an application such as direct-expansion coils or high efficiency filtration. Some manufacturers also offer industrial air handling units which can be combined with dehumidification systems. These semi-custom or full-custom units are used extensively in pharmaceutical and labaratory applications.
In some cases an existing system can be modified to achieve the dehumidification requirement. Installation of components such as Chilled Water Cooling Coils and heating coils or other heating or cooling sources in the system along with a desiccant wheel will often achieve the desired result. Manufacturers who offer custom air handling units, dehumidification equipment, and replacement coils are an ideal fit for this due to their experience in both new and retrofit applications.
